Catholic Schools Week – Grandparents Day
Thanks to all who helped to celebrate Catholic Schools Week. Grandparents Day last Wednesday was very special. Together with our children we pray for all Grandparents:
Loving God,
Bless all our grandparents,
those with us here today,
those who cannot be with us
and those who have gone to be with you.
May they heed your call to share their wisdom
and faith with us.
May they have courage and confidence
to hand on your gifts
of experience and knowledge
of stories, songs and memories.
May they continue to learn
and grow with us day by day.
Bless them and all of us gathered here today
with length of days and joy at the last.
We make this prayer
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
